Copernico TL

Solar inverter 20-500 kW transformerless

Applications:
  • LV photovoltaic power plants
  • MV/HV photovoltaic power plants
  • Stand alone photovoltaic power plants with energy storage system
  • Grid connected photovoltaic power plants with energy storage system
  • Hybrid power generation station
  • Peak shaving
  • Load balancing
  • Time shifting

 

Benefits:

High reliability

  • Longer time between maintenance activities
  • Reduction of energy production losses due to inverter failure

High efficiency

  • Some competitors declare only the maximum efficiency
  • Copernico’s efficiency is measured in the real operating conditions with all the auxiliary circuit connected

Low current distortion

  • Competitor’s average values are in the range 3–4%
  • Lower current distortion leads to a general reduction of the energy losses in conductors and transformers

 

Features:

Wide MPPT range

  • One of the widest (370Vdc) among inverter manufacturers
  • The energy production of the PV array is maximised

High output voltage in TL series (300 Vac)

  • Competitor’s average values 270–280 Vac y
  • Higher voltage = Lower current
  • Smaller AC cables and circuit breakers

Simplified installation

  • Single mechanical structure up to 500 kW
  • Space saving thanks to:
    • Small foot-print for all the range
    • Reduced installation clearances

Wide range availability of accessories for PV plants

  • Array Monitor (stings boxes)
  • Green Power Guardian (monitoring System)
  • PV sensors to measure environmental temperature, PV panel temperature, solar radiation
